CONTRACT INFORMATION
A player that is a restricted free agent (RFA) has reached the end of their initial entry-level contract but is not yet an unrestricted free agent. Their rights are still held by the NHL team.
A player is an unrestricted free agent (UFA) if older than 25 (or after 7 years, whichever comes first) and his contract ends. UFAs can sign with any team.
All new players, under the age of 25, are required to sign an entry-level contract. Entry-level contracts are three years if the player is age 18-21, two years if age 22-24, and one year if age 24.
If a player signs an AHL contract, then he is not eligible to play in the NHL.
KEY DATES
2023 NHL Entry Draft - June 28th and 29th: The 2023 NHL Entry Draft will be held over two days in late June. The first round will be held on Wednesday, June 28th, while the second through seventh rounds will be held on Thursday, June 29th. Both days will take place at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee. The Rangers will select 23rd overall in the first round. The club will also select 91st overall (3rd round, from Colorado), 152nd overall (5th round, from Edmonton), 178th overall (6th round, from Winnipeg), and 183rd overall (6th round).
Update: The Rangers selected five players at the 2023 NHL Entry Draft in Nashville.
Qualifying Offers - June 30th: NHL teams must send a Qualifying Offer in order to retain the rights to any Restricted Free Agent. Usually, this occurs on the Monday following the NHL Entry Draft. However, due to the draft being held on the 28th and 29th of June, this year's QO deadline is June 30th, per PuckPedia.
Teams are not required to send Qualifying Offers to RFAs. RFAs that do not receive a Qualifying Offer become UFAs on July 1, the opening of NHL Free Agency.
The qualifying offer is calculated from the players base salary (NHL salary minus signing bonus), and at a minimum must meet the season minimum salary requirements:
110% of the base salary if the base salary is less than or equal to the league minimum.
105% of the base salary if the base salary is greater than the league minimum or less than $1,000,000. However, this qualifying offer cannot exceed $1,000,000.
100% of the base salary if the base salary is equal to or greater than $1,000,000.
